One-time arrangements such as laboratory testing and material preparation
Outside entities use Argonne’s technical capabilities that are not readily available in the private sector via a technical service agreement (TSA).
Typically, a TSA is a one-time arrangement that may include laboratory testing, material preparation, irradiation services, specialized fabrication, or routine analysis using existing techniques. The Science and Technology Partnerships and Outreach directorate is the primary organization within Argonne that facilitates and supports this type of activity.
